The Kiangoi factory was founded in 1977 after the failure of the once-famous Ngiriama Cooperative Society. Today Karimikui represents 1,400 smallholders in the Kirinyaga Region. They are members of the Rung’eto Farmers Cooperative Society, who also represents Karimikui F.C.S and Kii F.C.S, the latter of which is named after the river Kii that runs through the area.
The Rung’eto Farmer’s society also deals in dairy, in a big way. Milk profits pay monthly dividends to members, allowing annual coffee profits to be reinvested. They are FairTrade Certified.
